How to give Claude access to 1,000s of apps without complex MCPs:

1. Set up n8n (free locally, or $4.99/mo Hostinger)

2. Create a new workflow with the "MCP Server Trigger"

3. Connect apps, agents, and workflows

4. Add authentication secret

5. Publish

With this, you can:

• Access 1,000s of integrations from n8n library

• Avoid context rot when defining MCP sequences

• Trigger custom agents and multi-agent systems

This setup allows you to easily publish n8n integrations as MCP tools even if MCP for that app doesn't exist.

Works in Claude Desktop, Cowork, Code, VS Code, and any other MCP client. Unlimited executions.

An example configuration for Claude Desktop (more: docs.n8n.io/integration…):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n8n": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "<n8n_URL>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
